Author's Note: I have to admit I love Happy. This story came to me as I wrote another chapter for a separate story. Exams are over for now and I have tomorrow free. No work, no school just my MAC and I! So I decided to dictate it to writing a bit a fan fic my favorite guilty pleasure. Nadia is one of my favorite female characters b/c of her unpredictability. She's just as off the hinge as Happy but hides it a tad better. I really hope you love this story. It's gonna be a bloody one.

I do not own any of the SOA characters.

The Proposal
I put the flowers on the mantle my eyebrows creased on their own as I heard the sniffles coming from the kitchen. The sniffles belonged to my eight year old. He was scrubbing his cleats with a brush over the sink standing on the step stool. His long black hair was tied in a neat braid away from his face.

"What's with the tears?" I asked leaning on the kitchen counter next to him.

RT wiped his tears away with the sleeves of his under Armor shirt. "She promised." He managed to get out through the hiccups of catching his breath.
I touched his head "who promised what son?" I asked trying to get him to calm down. Clearly the boy was upset, these were angry tears.

"Mom! She said that she was gonna be at the game. She promised that she would be there!" RT couldn't hold back his anger his little fist balled up.

I could feel my jaw clenching tight. I took a breath. "Son, I'll talk mama for you. Those cleats are looking good." I said gripping his neck to soothe him as he nodded.

"Thanks, papa." He replied softly. I walked out the room quickly but not to alert RT. He didn't like us fighting. I would have to be quiet. I swear I'm gonna slap the shit of Nadia.

I found her in our bedroom in the closet. She was wearing a white snug fitting shirt, blue jeans and blue high top Chucks. This was Nadia at home, no makeup, no glitz, no glam and no product in the hair. Just beautiful and natural just like I loved her to be.

I violently kicked the brown leather bag to the wall getting her attention. She looked at me, her eyes bloodshot. "Let me--"

"Explain? Yea, you better explain why our fucking son is down there scrubbing his cleats and crying right now." I growled low.

She walked around me closing the black sliding closet doors. She turned around resting her shoulder blades on the door.
"Something's happened overseas." She started not looking at me.

It was always overseas. Very politically correct. If anything my wife was diplomatic. I tugged her chin forcing her to look at me.
"Oh hell no, you're gonna have to share more than that."

She placed her small hands on my chest "I was gonna take him to his game, you know that my schedule was free for this entire month. Something bad happened in Tokyo and Hitoshi wouldn't tell me over the phone. I heard the worry in his voice."

My hand snaked around her waist gripping her tight making her wince in pain. "Not good enough." I said through my teeth. "You made a promise to your son. Remember we had a deal. Family trumps club and overseas business."

"I know. Do you think I want to fucking leave? I want to be the soccer mom embarrassing her son for the day!" She barked back through her teeth pushing me away. "This simply cannot wait and I'll make it up to him."

"This is bullshit, Nadia. He's gonna forgive you but he aint gonna forget this." I yelled before pushing her ass out the way shoving the door open.

"Rossin wait." I turned my head slightly. "What?!"

I felt her arms circle my waist pulling me toward our bed. She pushed me down and straddled me. She raked her fingers in her hair before starting. I was waiting…

"I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have promised RT but I thought I was solid this month. I know you're really upset at me for taking the side of business over family. I have a proposal to make." I put my arm behind my head and waited. She tapped her fingers idly on my chest. "Come with me to Japan. You've only been there once and I would feel better if you were there."

My eyes narrowed as I looked at her. I sat up picking up on her body language. "Something bad went down."

She nodded and smiled "so do you wanna help your wife crush a rebellion?"

I smirked "we gotta come up with a compromise, Princess. We're going to RT's soccer game and then we'll drop both boys off at Talvis' house. Call up Hitoshi and tell em' to handle whatever is going on like you aint aware of it."

She raised her eyebrow "the element of surprise. I like it. Now I'm going to go apologize to our son."

Before she could move I gripped her hips keeping her in place. "I'm sorry for pushing you, it won't happen again."

Her arms circled my neck "I'm sorry too. It won't happen again."

We went to our son's game. RT's team won the soccer game. We embarrassed the hell out of him like only we could. What made it all better was all the other parents knew I was a Son so they were scared shitless of me. Nadia scared the fuck out of the referee after he made a bad call. RT looked at me to control her but I was laughing too hard as she yelled every curse word she knew. Much to the horror of the other parents and the local priest who happened to show up at the game. Nadia got to be the soccer mom, RT was happy, Hunter was admiring his older brother and I was proud.

I don't want to sound cocky but I think I'm a pretty damn good father who sorted shit out. With their bags already packed we took the boys to Talvis' house. Sarah was waiting for the boys on the porch with her arms open wide. I spoke to Talvis for a couple of minutes explaining what was going on.

"Just don't make your children orphans, boy." He lectured. It was his way of saying be safe. I nodded. Nadia kissed both boys, whispering things in their ears meant for them only. I kissed both of my sons on the head and told them to mind their manners.

As we drove to the airport Nadia was silent. I reached over and gripped her hand. We didn't have to talk about it. We were both coming back to our kids. Period. If we didn't…we were taking Japan with us to the grave.

The private plane was fueled and ready for us at the airport. Once the plane was in the air and we were left alone I turned to my wife. She looked damn sexy having taken off her shoes and jeans getting comfortable. I let my hand slide on her bare thigh. With each pregnancy I found her more and more sexy. Nadia's eyes looked at my hand on her thigh and then to my face.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Since we're alone…maybe."

She pulled a pill box out of the James Bond compartment in the seat. She put 1 white pill in my hand.

"What's this for?" I asked as she got a glass of water for me. "It'll help you sleep."

I grinned "I could think of better things to do with our time alone. No kids, no distraction for at least the next 15 hours."

Nadia kissed my shoulder and then my cheek. "As appealing as joining the mile high club with you would be. You're gonna need your rest because this is going to get grueling. Trust me. Take the pill, Sunshine."

What a kill joy…and I knew she was right. I took the pill and settled into the bed with her.

"Sunshine?"

I couldn't open my eyes they were already feeling heavy. "Yes, babe."

"Whatever happens, know that I'm still Nadia. Ava is a face I have to put on. Okay?"

I pulled her tighter to me "I got Princess. I married Nadia, I put up with Ava's bullshit."

Her signature laugh was the last thing I heard before the drugs took effect. That was one good fucking pill.
